Hey so, im getting really mad at my phone atm. Ive been trying to add a room to the phone after i rooted it using Odin.
version 2.3.5, the phone IS rooted, i can use clock work mod, change files with root explorer. etc
Here is my problem, when i try to backup my phone using ClockWorkMod Recovery, i get ''failed to verify whole-file signature'' Ive been googling my problem now and read ****loads of posts about it.. I also get this error trying to room Cyanogen
I got Android Recovery e3 or something, i tryed to add a edited version with Root explorer, didnt work.
Im trying to add galaxys2 / nightly by Cyanogen version 7.1..
So what can i do to remove this ''failed to verify whole-file signature''
Downgrade to e2? And how do i do it..? if thats the case
Im a complete noob, i had the phone for like 1 week, and i really want a custom room...
You're using stock recovery, not CWM recovery.
So e3 is stock recovery? How can i then get CWM recovery? I download it, flashed etc, but i still got the same e3 when i reboot my phone
flash a custom kernel with cwm integrated (eg spedmod/hardcores/cf root)
So uhm, im checking this link out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
And i should download one of the files, i got no clue what files i should download. And should i just add the pdf file into Odin?
Because when i followed this guide on Youtube, i only needed to download a pdf file and click start.. Thats prob my problem? I should have uploaded a bootloader aswell? (assuming bootloader = bios/android recovery)
Can u guys help me picking the file on that site, i have no clue what to download -.-
My Phone says, I9100xxiki4
The one under says [email protected] #2

We could tell you how to do it, but it's best to understand what you're doing. Everything you need to know is in the link above.
Please read the sticky guide to rooting it will have link to chainfire thread follow instructions.. its far more simple than reads.
At the moment you still have stock kernel and no recovery due to this.

The Phone is rooted, i used a file that was completely the same as i got just that it was rooted instead of stock... Guess i have to read a little more
You will likely run into issues if you try to flash CM7 from a CF-Root kernel from what *I've heard*.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176411
What I'd do:
-run CF Root for a while; get to know the phone and what it can/can't do,
-back up your efs folder before you start flashing ROMs or other kernels,
-when you decide it's time for CM7 flash a Siyah kernel via CWM recovery,
-then flash CM7 paying particular attention to the instructions in the link.
So i think i got it now, or. Cyanogen mod 7 loops in the startup -.-..
What i did before is that i used odin, i should have just restarted my phone there.
Not going into Clockwork thingy and flash it, when i did that the phone just went back to e3.. Now i restarted the phone and got more options (cwm.based recovery v5.0.2.7)
1 Update
Trying to sort this out -.- I prob just went full retarded with my phone.. I had Cyanogen version 7.1 on my sd card, tryed to update it. And didnt work, just loooppping..
Can someone plz help me, i got so many dumb problems from just rooting my phone...
2 Update
Now its just stuck on the startup screen, ive been messing around and stuff in the cwm. How can i undo this, atm i just want my phone back to normal. And work from scratch -.- And how come i couldnt update the Cyanogen from sdcard........ --.--

Im such a noob, how do i clean the phone?
Im really sorry for wasting your time with my noobness, i though when i finally got cwm recovery thingy to work i could finally install my cyanogen mod... But then something failed, i booted the phone, and it got stuck on the screen. Now only samsung galaxy s2 thingy shows. And nothing else happends.... Geeeeeeeeeez i shouldnt have messed around without knowing what to do, and i would have saved u guys some time...
update, The triangle is gone and everything. Im back to e3 but my phone just wont boot... I dont get it... sigh
update 2, Can u help me finding my stock kernel ? Maybe im just ****ing up with something there?
Did you read the install instructions from the CM7 nightlies thread I linked you to?
Did you try to flash to CM7 from a CF Root kernel? (many/most aren't successful flashing CM7 from a CF Root kernel)
Did you flash it twice? (must flash it twice upon first install)
Your best bet now is to follow the directions that JJEgan linked you to to at least get your phone up and running again on stock firmware. Take it one step at a time and save any more modding for another day.
Ninja Edit: you got a free "thanks" from me by accident. Paypal me $5 and we'll call it even.
I dont get it, why wont it load when i loaded in my stock kernel... After i wiped and everything using e3.. Man this is sooooooo annoying...
And mudferret i would if i had my card here. trust me i would pay $1000 if i got this **** to work, this is frustrating
sucks to be a noob
Im prob spamming something on this site with my edits and posts.
My kernels have been on 40 mb, because i picked the Stock Kernel, now i picked 'Nordic' Lets see if this works. This file is on 272 mb
Update
Got it working now!!!
Think im gonna put my superskills away for a while untill i read up and understand how this works! Thanks alot for helping me out <3
Glad you're sorted out. Take your time, no rush to mod. Good luck.

my evo 3d GSM is unlocked, with s-off and it is rooted. it also has CWM recovery on it. I am a noob when it comes to kernel flashing so i need help. i understand the basics of how to flash but when i try to flash either Leedroid's kernel or unity v3b kernel i get the same error message in CWM something about status 7. i did some research and found out that this comes from the phone trying to put the boot image where it isnt supposed to go, i believe that this problem is coming from the fact that i used the revolutionary tool to s-off my device and then it asked if i wanted to flash CWM right then and there... so i did that, rather than the traditional way. please if you have any help in this matter let me know and i just want the kernel, i am not interested in any ROMs. ALSO i would like to keep all of my data so no sd wipe-age please, im fine with cache wiping. please help me install this kernel.

Not true. I have used GenericGinger for 3 months with maybe 2 crashes total. It's quite stable and fast, and the UI is much better than that one (of course, I use Go Launcher with any ROM), especially because it has an ICS theme (although it says beta, I've had no issues).

I completely agree. I've been testing this rom for a couple weeks and everything works like the stock rom did, if not better. It has awesome features. GenericGinger is also perfectly stable with the ice cream theme and has other features but not as much.
As soon as someone helps to fix the ice cream kernel I'm sure we will have allot more stable roms to choose from.
Newbie Question
Forgive me if this is a dumb question:
Does Eryigit's Custom ROM GingerBread-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Release 3.5 INCLUDE Entropy's Kernal ??
or must you 1st install Entropy's Kernal BEFORE you install Eryigit's Custom ROM GingerBread-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Release 3.5 ?
Thanks in advance.

It comes with the kernel. Since you are using entropys kernel im guessing you are from the US meaning your stock is 2.3.x meaning the kernel is the correct format for the rom anyway so if for some strange reason it does not come with the kernel then you will be safe from brick in theory. And you can put entropys kernel on afterwards. You can check to see if it is there by going into cwm and if it isn't there then your on stock kernel (unless you all ready have another kernel on already)
But I am pretty sure that it comes with the kernel in.

You can't be too careful
Thank you Samwes.
I am from the US with stock SGP5 Model YPG70CWYXXA and I dread the chance of bricking, so I'm doing lots of homework by looking at and trying to understand various postings here.
KIES is working on my Windows PC, so my plan is to root via SuperOneClick and install Eryigit's latest tar file via the latest version of Odin. I read in the install instructions that you are supposed to:
(in Clockwork recovery mod : wipe cache partition ---> OK; Wipe data/factory reset --> OK;
advanced - wipe dalvik cache --> OK; after that install new rom , You must do it , clean installation.)
The stock version does not have Clockwork recovery mod, so do I need to do the Odin install twice? e.g. The 1st install to GET the Clockwork recovery mod feature, then go into Clockwork recovery mod to do the above "wiping", and then repeat the install via Odin again ??
Actually, once you've got Entropy's recovery mod installed, you can just use that to install other roms. Just copy the new rom file over (in a .zip) to your device, boot into recovery mode, and choose the right options. (It's fairly intuitive)
You say you dread the chance of bricking your device; if you're not prepared to accept and live with the possibility of doing so, perhaps terminally, then I suggest you not do it.
What, exactly, do you hope to gain by rooting and flashing a different ROM? Does the stock ROM lack some specific functionality that you want/need, or is it only for experimental purposes?
If you're just looking to gain the experience, then that's a perfectly valid reason to explore the flexibility of Android, but you must be careful in what you do, and realize the consequences of error.
Just do a backup in recovery before you flash..i did not now anything before i flash it and i brick it but people here help me to unbrick it and since then i know how and i flash almost every rom from here for testing.

I bricked my first device months ago because I didn't have any experience flashing stuff, I made a mistake, but now I know better.
Don't be afraid, just try it, but be informed first, now there's a lot more information about anything related to this device.

Yeah I should of researched more I was stupid, when I tried flashing a from with Odin it would work, so I reset the device and then when it rebooted I came up with the picture with the phone and then dots connecting it to a computer and then that didn't work with Odin either, so I was stupid and let the battery run all the way out because I though it would fix it but no. It got hard bricked and it now doesn't turn on. Hope any of you never make the mistake I did, and now I'm trying out a USB jig because I know its charging so there is still chance, if that doesn't work then I will have to take off the back plate and remove the battery and I will go from there, but for now I'm awaiting for my USB jig to arrive, it sucks.....
Hi,
I am trying to root a second T959 phone, my wife's, but am not having much luck. It is currently running Froyo 2.2 w/ KB5.
I tried using AIO Toolbox to root, but that did not work. The first problem I encountered is that it complained that 'verification failed' when I tried to reinstall package.
I searched through the forums, and found that I have recovery 3e. Noticed that on the recovery menu too. So I did what this thread indicated:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&highlight=root+3e
Ran the install.bat, and it did its work. I was still not able to apply the update.zip, but I was able to run 'SuperOneClick' to root the phone, or I thought. SuperOneClick reports that I have rooted the phone, but none of the apps think so. So right now, I am still stuck, with a phone that I cannot root.
I found this other thread talking about using ODIN to flash in a CWM instead of using recovery. I am a bit hesitant about this, as I am worried about flashing anything at this point without a backup.
I realize that I could ODIN to stock and I would be able to root and upgrade ROMs without problems, but I would really like to backup using Titanium before doing so.
Maybe I missed something somewhere, but is there a way that I can root this phone on the current fw?
Solved
Ok, found this thread with further searching, and it solved my problem.
Phone rooted and upgraded to JB! Woohoo!

You don't need a computer to flash a ROM. Find a ROM you like, I recommend a JB ROM as they are supported, anything prior will not be. Download the ROM zip and gapps zip if required. Use a root file app, I use root browser, and move the zips from
sdcard/download to sdcard. Boot to recovery, wipe cache, advanced>wipe dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset, install zip from SD, install ROM then install gapps, reboot and profit!
*you might have to flash the ROM more than once as it has to update recoveries and partitions.

I rooted my GT-P7510 US tablet about 3 years ago, and I'm overdue for an update. I'm running 3.1, a custom kernel -Task650 and Phantom's "In Paris v4" P7510UEKME. It's kernel version 2.6.36.4. I would like some advice on which os are most happy with and I would like to understand the process of what I have to flash i.e downgrade in order to upgrade? back to stock? Will this erase my files? What about my apps?

I use Titanium Backup.. to back up my apps and their data... just remember that if you back up system data you can't restore it on any rom but the one you made it on... but apps/app data can be installed from rom to rom.
A lot of the new roms require you to have an ICS bootloader. Pershoot has one you can download and flash/install with Odin. If you need it.
You will need an updated recovery... I use Infamous TWRP... it's a touch based recovery and in my opinion the best for this device..
As for you're other files.. you will need to backup them up on you're computer if you use Odin because I think it will format/wipe you're sdcard. You can also take the Titanium backup you made and put it on you're computer. If you have any questions just ask and I'll try to help.. Good Luck..
So after I backup my data on the sdcard partition,
1)I just need to choose stock ICS or JB and flash via Odin? I've heard performance isn't all that great with JB.
2) Use TWRP to install custom recovery. Are the ROM's pre-rooted?
Is this guide still up to date? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807219
Is the file for the ICS 4.0.4 still current for ICS?

If you have a custom recovery now.. you can install TWRP recovery ( I suggest.. Infamous Twrp ) in that custom recovery via a zip file. If you don't have a custom recovery we can work on getting you one. .But I seen that you are rooted and running a custom rom and kernel so I would assume you have a custom recovery,...probably cwm.. I can tell you how.. easy as pie. But I think you need to find out if you have an ICS Bootloader.. You will need this if you plan on flashing an updated rom..
Don't use that guide you linked.. that rom is for the 3g tab.. could work but why chance it..
Find out about the bootloader and get back to me... I will give you a link to my dropbox. I have a zip with all you need to get rooted/running ics/and recovery.. if we need to go that route. I'm hoping you have an ICS bootloader and cwm recovery already. It will be a simple series of steps to get you an up to date recovery and then a rom of you're choice.
If this isn't the case you might have to flash a bootloader with Odin on windows or if you have an ICS bootloader but no recovery you will need to flash a recovery in Odin.

How to check for ICS bootloader
@lowpost99
Ok, I'm prepping for this right now while I wait to hear back from you. I'll take a backup with Titanium Backup, get any other files I want to keep off.
I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and I don't think I have an ICS bootloader as ICS wasn't out when I last rooted. How do you validate? I'm still up in the air about which rom to use, JB or ICS, so I'm still looking. But after reading the known issues for CM 10 8/25/13 at droidbasement.com it seems to read that the ICS bootloaders are only needed for the p4wifiUK, but doesn't mention p4wifi (GT-P7510) specifically. Is that meant to be inclusive of any p4wifi or only the UK version of the hardware. My 10.1 is a US model. Do I just need I need to use ODIN 1.85 to flash an updated recovery and the new CM10? Or are you certain that I'll need this ICS bootloader as well. Also before flash the new recovery, shouldn't I do a factory reset to just clean things up? I should be able to restore the apps with TB and get any other files back from my PC. Your opinion and advice are appreciated.
I had the most stable experience with pershoots cm 10.1 roms. If you are using the cwm recovery he compiles, you can even use the autoupdate feature of the official cm roms.
At the moment I am using an early version of 10.2 because the 10.1 rom had issues with the stock keyboard closing all the time on my P4.

JB 4.3 with CM10.2. and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip. I've run into an issue with launching Titanium Backup now. I downloaded it from the play store, and the setting say to auto-create icons, but there's no icon to be found. It shows installed, and I've disabled HALO as well. I don't know how to manually place an icon on the home screens, because it doesen't appear in the app drawer. It must be my un-familiarity with ICS/JB vs HC. Any help is appreciated...
